I simply had to register on this site and weigh in on this film. Even though Bagdad Cafe was released a long time ago (late 80's), and I'd never heard of it before recently, for some reason it came across my vision from two different sources in the last week. These two sources "oozed" about how great a film it is. I went online and read lots of similar reviews, including the NYTimes, Rotten Tomatoes, and many more. Nearly all oozed with praise for this film.So I watched it. Yes, nice photography. That's where it stopped for me. The rest is about cardboard characters walking through a thinly written script with poorly transitioned plot evolutions, ... I don't get it. It's so-called "charm" is OK, I guess, but hardly worth the gushing reviews I've read.I love movies. Watch many. Many types. I don't see what all the fuss is about on Bagdad Cafe. Curious.

I never saw the TV series of the same name; just the movie. I really don't know how they made a series out of it, as the movie was perfect just the way it was made. It is simply a charming, warmhearted, funny little story that was totally enjoyable, and I have remembered it all these years after seeing it. I looked it up on the net just on a whim tonight, and got enthusiastic and lonesome for it all over again, so I just ordered a copy of it online from overstock.com. I can't wait to show this movie to my daughter; I'm certain she will love it as much as I do. I was glad to discover that it has other fans as well. If you've never seen the movie version, do yourself a favor and check it out!

Well, further to the previous comment you should note at the top that it says TV Servies next to the title. This means that you are indeed incorrect about Whoopi Goldberg as she played the character in the TV Series, but not as you point out in the film version.I must be bored too - and now I have to fill in the prerequisite number of lines. I don't think this correction was worth the time or effort, but never mind.I have never seen the film, but remember enjoying the TV series when it was on some years ago, though i was quite young at the time and one should never revisit these things as they have a habit of disappointing you.
